Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Filming Locations
Sydney in Miniature

A BIG thanks to Dennis W. Nicholson, who worked on the
miniatures for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Steve Pilant for their help in providing
these pictures. Please note that these pictures are provided from Dennis' private
collection, and may not be reproduced without his permission. Thanks.

Note that after production all of the models were deemed too big to be able
to be stored, and were apparently all destroyed. Unfortunate, especially given
the obvious effort and detail put into them, but that's what happens with film
sets I guess.
